So I just spent my evening typing ten million emails! And knocked a significant chunk of stuff off of my to-do list. Now I just have to wait for responses to move forward with several projects. I also now have an official artist statement. WOW! It was nerve-wracking, and yet very cool to create that. Mostly it was cool that there was an actual need for it. It took me about two hours of tweaking, and stressing, and pacing. One of those times when I felt I needed a cigarette just to calm me down!

Last week was a blur of activity – and I think I’ve got things well in hand – art-wise. I’m halfway through an eight piece series that will be part of an eight person show in August (8/8/08 – get it?) I’ve decided to go with abstract encaustic pieces. I am using 8 x 8 Claybord panels and they are looking really hot on my walls right now – not sure I want to give them up to the world – at least I have them until August! I don’t want to show the whole pieces – so I’m just including closeups. To really get a good look at the waxy goodness clock on each individual pic for a larger view.
